Off the mat, you'll probably find Bexie in town with her dog. Otherwise, she's up on the mountain working for the Karioi Maunga Project.

tessa von huben

Tessa’s background as a physiotherapist has made her passionate about injury prevention and whole body movement. Her Pilates classes incorporate lengthening and movement of the entire body with a focus on core strength and joint stabilisation carried out to some funky tunes. Tessa encourages you to challenge yourself safely with exercise progressions.

Away from the Space, Tessa works as a physiotherapist here in Raglan. Outside of the clinic you might spot her running around the town with her large and very furry Alsatian.

Amy Lewis

Amy loves the quietness, the individual inner-knowing that can be found through the practice of yoga. For her, whether the movements are free and fast-flowing, or slow and very subtle, yoga brings a sense of grace, clarity and a deep connection to the Self. She considers herself first and foremost a student, and is always seeking to deepen her knowledge.

Beyond yoga, she looks for the poetry in everything, but particularly enjoys books, the sea and planting plants.

Georgina Roy

Gina’s approach to yoga is defined by a love for strong physical postures, as well as a deep respect for traditional yogic philosophy. This is reflected in her classes, which explore dynamic flows, expansive breathwork and embraces yoga’s Indian roots. Gina aims to foster a sense of connection and gratitude in every class.

Gina practices yoga at the Space almost daily. She loves the energy that a yoga class brings and would always rather practice together than alone! Occasionally, you’ll find her with salty hair after a surf, or more often, sandy feet after walking dogs on the beach!
